A settembre usciranno tantissimi nuovi album,compreso quello di Mika dal titolo “The Boy Who Knew Too Much”.Il primo singolo “We Are Golden” sta già avendo un discreto numero di passaggi nelle radio nonostante sia in giro da pochi giorni.L’album uscirà nella versione standard(1 cd) e in quella speciale con 2 cd(con una bonus track) di cui il secondo sarà un live.Il video è stato diretto da Jonas Akerlund,già al lavoro per Lady Gaga(Paparazzi),Madonna(Ray Of Light),Maroon 5 (Wake Up Call) e molti altri.Mika ci propone la solita miscela allegria+stravaganza ma riesce comunque a stupire con un pezzo per nulla banale e con una buona originalità,anche considerando il livello medio-basso della musica pop attuale.I riferimenti ad altre canzoni del passato ci sono ma secondo me non sono un segno della mancanza di idee del cantante.Nel complesso il brano non mi da l’impressione di già sentito,poi se vogliamo scandagliare tutta la storia della musica pop,è normale che si possano trovare delle analogie.

TESTO
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when youre young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Waking up
In the midday sun
Whats to live for?
You could see what Ive done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that youd say
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when youre young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when youre young and you want some
Now Im sitting alone
Im finally looking around
Left here on my own
Im gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
Im still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed dry
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when youre young and you want some
Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
